Hi Shahyan, my thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family at this difficult time. My wife and I faced a similar set of circumstances. She had 18 wbr treatments and her onc. told her that if she needed it again it would be 12 at the most, but she advised against this. Once, in the chemo. room, we met a woman who had undergone wbr twice and gamma knife once ( i don't know at what intensity or how many treatments) and she seemed to be doing okay. When my wife underwent the wbr, they halted her Gemzar treatments for fear of intensifying the rads. Love, Bill
